In India, Kazam enables 60+ Charge Point Operators, inclusive of large e-commerce companies, 2W OEMs and Third-party Logistics companies.

Kazam’s agnostic software platform sits on a vehicle and enables total analytics of energy consumption and capacity with a battery management system. Manufacturers provide the charging point and app, with API and Software Development Kit support for mobile app development.

“Kazam is excited to have the support of Avaana Capital in our mission to digitize and democratize EV fuelling,” said Co-founder & CEO, Akshay Shekhar. “The funds will be used to extend offerings of the platform to its existing customers by investing in technology and product teams.
